#Chromium ii chloride Activator

Typical blood levels for chromium range from 1 to 5 mcg/liter, but blood levels are not considered a meaningful index of tissue stores. Serum chromium is bound to transferrin (siderophilin) in the beta globulin fraction. Providing chromium during TPN helps prevent deficiency symptoms including impaired glucose tolerance, ataxia, peripheral neuropathy and a confusional state similar to mild/moderate hepatic encephalopathy. Chromium helps to maintain normal glucose metabolism and peripheral nerve function.

#Chromium ii chloride Activator

Trivalent chromium is part of glucose tolerance factor, an essential activator of insulin-mediated reactions. The small amount of water vapor that can pass through the plastic container wall will not significantly alter the drug concentration. The safety of the plastic has been confirmed by tests in animals according to USP biological standards for plastic containers. It is a copolymer of ethylene and propylene. The semi-rigid vial is fabricated from a specially formulated polyolefin.
